No bye weeks and no games outside of the traditional primetime slots sets up a jumbo Week 15 NFL DFS main slate schedule with 13 games unfolding on Sunday afternoon. Matthew Stafford and Drake Maye are among the most expensive quarterbacks on this slate, but their matchups differ substantially with Stafford facing a Detroit squad that has given up the 28th most Fantasy points to opposing QBs, while Maye faces a Buffalo defense ranked No. 6 against opposing quarterbacks.
